Dear Anon,
Please see below:-QuoteOn 1/20/2002 10:24:00 PM, Anonymous wrote:
I have several questions that
I seem to be getting myself
more and more confused over.
My house faces SE - I am a Kan
#1 (7/29/59 Female) This is
unfavorable for my
Relationships from what I
understand. Since moving into
this house 18 years ago I am
on my 3rd failing marriage.
Using the backdoor is out of
the question because the house
is a split level and access to
the back is not possible
because of the slope of the
lot.
I hope I understand correctly. Do you mean to say that your house has a slope at the back of the house.
Frankly, I have seen many situations (not sure) if it is the same description of your house where: one walks into the front of the house. But the house was e.g. built 3 levels, where the two other levels are built lower down.
For example, the highest level is the frontage and because of the slope in the property, the rest of the house is built at lower levels (due to the slope). From the frontage the house looks more like a one storey (level) house. Not sure if this fits your description or not.QuoteNext I keep reading that ponds
should be in front of the
house. Mine is in back. Is
this bad. I love my pond but
don't need anymore bad luck.
Under Shapes and Form Feng Shui, this is not an ideal situation especially it is directly behind the house.
I can understand why architects in the west do this. Mostly due to privacy reasons. But it would be the worst impact if it is behind the house (west side).
The rationale here is that while it is good to activate water positions at the frontage; the back should normally have a solid backing.QuoteFinally, My bedroom is
downstairs. Stairs go
straight down then split to
left and right to bedrooms.
There are 3 doors in this
room. Entering Room, Closet,
and door to patio (by the
pond). All of my best
sleeping directions seem
impossible because of a door.
Sleeping SE put me facing the
door to outside (this is where
my bed currently is) The only
place to put my bed is W which
is my worst directions. What
do I do to improve this.
Under the Eight House Theory, there is really not much `cure' here. Here the theory can assist one to locate good sectors to spent time at. But if it is not a good sector, there is not much under this theory. As each theory or concept has its own strengths and limitations.
In my opinion, it is difficult to correct a sloping home. The best option in the long term (or long run) is to find a better home.
Just 3 weeks ago, I visited one of my client's father's bungalow house for an audit. Fortunately, his home is on the better side. While, there is a home that was left vacant just 100 metres away which is sloping. I had strongly advised him to forgo looking at purchasing that property (at all costs).
Warmest Regards,

Dear Anon,
Grateful, if you can attach a sketch. The sketch should include the position of the main entrance door.
If you do so, I can easily locate the center-point for you.

Dear Anon,
What you mentioned is too general to say for sure what may be `wrong' with your relationship luck.
This is because, there are quite a substantial number of reasons for this:
1. It may be your home (Earth luck). Here, it may involve as many as two major Feng Shui theories such as Shapes and Form and Compass School methods. (There could be perhaps some Shapes and Form - problems and/or Flying Star related `relationship' problems that may need to be neutralised.
2. It may be your Ba Zi (Pillars of Destiny - Heaven's Luck)
3. Other than the above, it may be other reasons beyond 1 or 2.
Using Gua (Kua) cannot help here as it is not meant to help find out about relationships.

Dear Sam,
1. Where possible, the pair of triangle speaks should not be positioned such as it is aimed at a person.
For example, place each speaker such that it's pointed edge does not aim directly towards a seat (where a person could be sitting down).
2. It is a no, no - or inauspicious for the speakers to be placed in the master bedroom.
As symbolically, if it is placed in a married couple's room could signify - separation or divorce (if it is located in this room).
3. Since it is placed in the hall, do try to follow the advice as mentioned under Para 1.
Thank you.

Hi,
I've recently bought a pair of
speakers, about 1.5 m tall,
entirely made of aluminium and
shaped in a triangle form.
After having reading a bit on
fung shui from your
informative website, it occur
to me that the pair of
speakers could act as a poison
arrows in our living room. It
is placed against the wall in
the middle of the living room.
I would like your advice if
these speakers are really
poison arrows and if so, how
to counter them. Thank you

Dear Rosen,
1. Do you have a sketch (even a simple outline) will do of your plot of land in relation to the highway and the `enclave' of e.g. teh business district.
2. Describe, what is at the frontage, back and both sides of your plot of land:-
2.1. In general what is the road that leads into your building.
2.2. What are the height of the neighbouring buildings.
2.3 Is this an industrial (manufacturing) or business (commercial area) and are the neighbours (manufacturing or commercial).
3. Usually if your plot of land is `enclosed' within a district meant for business; it does not imply the same as what I mentioned earlier i.e. the residential area.
Apologise for asking so many questions.

Dear Ingrida,
Actually, I believe what you mentioned is not Flying Star Feng Shui but rather the Eight House Theory.
We may have to take the Eight House Theory with a `pinch of salt' for situations where there is no rooms that we can ideally spent more time at.
Usually, this theory is used more for:
1. How suitable the house is to the breadwinner.
2. As you mentioned, it is good to spent time at good sectors. But if there are considered `no' good sectors to spent time at; one need not be say `upset' over it.
This theory is meant more for the `initial' house hunting.
For example, when house hunting, it can help or aid us to further decide which house to choose base on the direction of the main entrance and whether there are good sectors where we can spent time at.
3. Other than the above, Shapes and Form Feng Shui and even Flying Star is used further in Feng Shui assessments.

Dear Michelle,
If the frontage if facing the major highway, even if it is some distance away; if you can try to find other better units - than this.
Overall, if you can still hear the sound; there is still `vibrant' bad Sha Qi usually at higher level apartments.

Dear Jagannath,
Usually, one has to look at the building opposite your hotel also i.e. the element of that particular building when looking at the colours of the main entrance doors.
Option 1:
1. Fire element (Red) - Usually the is an auspicious colour for the Chinese:
1.1. It is in harmony with SW (Earth) sector.
1.2. Iti s a colour suitable for " Food Related " and it signifies activity i.e. Marketing and Sales.
Option 2:
2. Wood element (Brown or Green) - Natural wood or brown signifies growth for the business.
Option 1 is usually the best option when brass is oraments are included in the red door.
For the size of the main door, it has to be proportionate to the entire facade of the hotel. Make sure that the doors does not exceed 33.3 percent of the floor area of the facade of the ground level unit.
Warmest Regards,

Dear Angelina,
Under the Eight House theory:
1. Determine who is the breadwinner (or the person who brings back the most money.)
If the earnings is nearly the same, then preference is for the breadwinner to be the (male) husband of the house.
2. It is best to find the most suitable house for the breadwinner.
The most suitable house is `Excellent' sector at the main entrance. The main entrance can also be the three other good sectors e.g. Prosperity, Health and Longevity.
3. For the other spouse; try find a house where it is good for say the husband under para 2. and for the wife, it can be other intangible forces such as `spook' or `irritation' at the main entrance.
4. Likewise, look at another critical location i.e. the masterbedroom and see if this can be good sector for oneo or the other or at least, not too bad intangible force e.g. irrititation and spook.
Therefore, avoid if possible, the main door with death /disaster for either parties and also in the bedroom.
Warmest Regards,

Hi Cecil,
Earlier I have posted this
question but somehow it was
not listed.
My question is both my husband
and I have different Kua nos.
He's 7 and I'm 9. Previously
when we purchased a house, we
are only concerned that there
is no direct west sunlight to
our unit. Until recently we
realised that our unit have a
front door facing NE
(longevity to him but disaster
to me). Currently my husband
is the breadwinner but is
concern of the adverse effect
on me. Since the front door is
facing NE, must we paint the
color according to that
diection?
We are currently considering

the differences in Kua nos.
What choice do we have to

the direction we have to look
into what other aspects, eg
bedroom?

Dear Gloria,
Thanks for taking the time and effort to draw a complete sketch of your building.
It is very clear now that:
1. Your house is an `L' shaped home rather than one with a missing corner.
Thus, you can consider your house as having two rectangles.
2. Overall, this shape is still an auspicious shape for apartment blocks. And the centre where your balcony and the other unit opposite yours is good as it allows qi to flow into the centre area.
Warmest Regards,

Therefore, my right door

Hi Cecil,
Thanks for the prompt reply.
Can you shed some light on the
House of Life and conception,
What impact they have on the
pillar of destiny. Is there a
difference b/w strong yin
fire, the yin here means the
year eg Ram?
House of Life & House of Conception are two ADVANCED pillars used only in advanced pillars of destiny anaysis.
Of greater importance is the House of Life as that determines if you are a Strong or Weak person. As it denotes how your life is based on your Eight Characters.
House of Conception is more useful for female analysis and it help to detemine areas like marriage and spouse relationships.
Generally for any person there is 4 types of of relation, Weak yin Wood, Strong yin Wood, Weak yang Wood, Strong yang Wood.
Generally the yin & yang helps more to tell about the characteristics of a person. As there is a difference in character for a yin wood and a yang wood person. So simply when added together gives you a better overview of yourself.
However, for understanding more about what elements are favourable to you etc, it is usually determined by the Strong or Weak Wood more than the yin or yang wood, as that i mentioned does not mean that yin is weak and yang is strong.
Yin & Yang are nether weak nor strong, they can be extremely strong and can also be extremely weak and vice versa.
Hope that helps.

Dear Cecil,
We are very much grateful with
your advice. Thank you very

My rented house ?Sits? on NE
with flying stars of (7,1,7)
but ?Facing? is SW (4,4,1).
Its ?Earth? house
I pasted 6 metal coins on the
wall above my GLASS sliding
doors & hang 6-rods metal
windchime. I will place a
small red door mat inside the
house main door in SW
direction for next year for
flying stars (4,4,1).
Hopefully, it won?t provoke
romance of ?Peach Blossom? for

understanding ?Fire burns wood
(4,4,) which give rise to
?Earth? Fire also feeds
?Earth? which is suitable for
both of us ?Weak Earth?
In house fengshui, I am ?Weak
Earth? (8-white star) & my
wife is Strong Earth
(5-yellow star)
My masterbedroom is in SW
sector flying stars(4,4,1) &
South sector (6,2,8). All the
masterbedrooms including my
children?s rooms are carpeted
?RED?, windows tinted ?Purple?
to block strong sunlight.
Plenty of ?Fire? In moving

year, the red carpet ?Fire?
will burns ?Wood? & reduce
?1?-Water effect. Or am I
better sleeping in South
Sector (6,2,8) & hang 6 metal
coins.
What?s the difference between
hanging 6-metal coins tied
with YELLOW string &
?Pasting ? 6-metal coins tied
with RED string on wall ???
RED string version is used to control the Metal so that you can effectively use it to control all the problem sectors. This is the correct cure to use for fixing problems.
YELLOW string on the other hand has an objective to hopefully increase wealth as it uses Earth as the Wealth and thus Metal destroy it to create wealth. This the it "concept".
However, often in good sector, you would probably want to activate the Water areas with Water features as usually those are the better stars you wish to induce rather than just the wealth from the 6 coins.QuoteI had just moved my
?refrigerator? to East sector
with flying stars (3,5,2) &
refrigerator door?s direction
is SW. It was argued
?refrigerator? has
?Fire?-which is electricity, a
mountain-a box of metal &
Water-freezer. What?s your
view?
I usually regard ?electricity?
as ?Fire? but others
classified ?electricity? as
?Water? Any comments?
This can be a debatable issue and it depends on your opinion. In my personal opinion, I also classify Electicity as Water.QuoteWill you share briefly how do
one change the period 7 house
into period 8 house
effectively?
You need to perform a major renovation which should involve a change in the house structure to effectively change the house period. ie to hack off a wall or to add a wall changing the structure of the interior of the house. If you redo the entire roof, it will also be considered changing the structure of the house.
But the more effective way in my opinion to having a change in the interior structure of the house. This is because if you do this, the Qi flow will change and that will affect the overall flying star of the house also.
Hope that helps.

Dear Max Rosen,
Happy new year to your too!QuoteOn 1/19/2002 12:42:00 PM, Anonymous wrote:
Happy new year!! I would like
to find out which door should
I use will be better for my

North-west. The main door and
side door are both facing
North-west as well. Normally
we use the side door more
often as it is located closer
to the garage. Thank you.
Generally, the main door should be where your house number is located.
However, for landed properties sometimes you have a choice of two entrance. Thus, it the main door becomes the one which you frequently use, as that is where the Qi enters and exit the house most frequently.
Which one you should choose should depends on:-
1. Is that main door direction suitable to you (ie North-West, is it a good or bad sector for you - prosperity or diaster based on your Eight House Suitability)
2. Next depends on which has a better overall Stars (ie. which main door has overall better House analysis by the Flying Star report) Usually you would want to choose the better door direction.
You can make use of the Free Flying Star report to help you on this, see which report has less problem sectors and if there are problem sectors you should rectify it to get better luck from it.
Hope that helps.

Hi Anon,
Please see below:-QuoteOn 1/20/2002 3:38:00 AM, Anonymous wrote:
Hello, Mr Lee,
Previously when we purchase a
home we are more concerned
that there is no afternoon sun
directly on our unit. Hence,
we have picked a unit which
front door facing NE, and we
didn't even know it faces NE
until lately.
My husband is Kua 7 and I am
Kua 9. Since we are of the
opposite type, it is
impossible to get a home that
favour both. Knowing that the
breadwinner ie my husband, we
should be getting our 2nd home
to his favourable directions
e.g. W (excellent) that means
it shall be my spook
direction. My husband is most
concern that it will hv
adverse effect on me. Is there
a remedy to it?
The priority you should be taking is as follows:-
A. The house should be 1st suitable to the breadwinner (your husband). Since both of you are of opposite EIght House, which by the way is a common issue for most people. Likely it is not your death or disaster sector which would be worst.
B. Next, you should then focus on choosing a a bedroom that hopefully is suitable for the two of you. However, in most cases, it would be hard to find it as it would likely again be such a case where your husband is good and your is bad.
So you can try to choose a bedroom if possible where either of the following:-
1. Good for you and maybe irritation for your husband.
2. Good for your husband and maybe irritation for you.
(So long as for the bedroom, you do not choose a bedroom which is DEATH or DIASTER it will.)
Preferably to have option 1 because since your husband is already staying in his favourable house, staying in a slightly less auspicious bedroom to accomodate his wife is acceptable.
C. Next is to position your sleeping position. ie (try to use each other as a shield).
Say for example you choose to sleep in North bedroom, where North-West is better for your husband and North-East is better for you.
Then you will sleep in the North bedroom where you sleep closer to North-East and your husband sleep closer to the North-West side of the bed. This way you will make use of each other to shield yourself from the not so favourable influence.
This is normally how to resolve this opposite problem issue which is a very common problem.QuoteCurrently our home is facing
NE, longevity to my husband
but disaster to me. If we were
to stay put on this house, can
color change anything.
Choosing a house with an
overall favourable directions
beside the front door,
bedrooms also plays a vital
part? Pls advise
The only thing is to ensure that your bedroom is better for you, then to your husband, so that it will offset some of the influence from the unsuitable main door.
The other issue is to enhance your personal self (ie if you are a weak wood), then have more blue colours to improve your personal luck.
For the bedroom, you will need to know the binding element between you and your husband so that you can find a colour that would be beneficial to both of you. (ie weak wood and Strong Metal). The binding element would be Water. So painting the room in light shades of "Blue/Black/Gray" can help to improve both of your personal luck.
Hope that helps.

Dear Grace,
1. In my book Applied Feng Shui Made Easy, Page 58; I have listed two formulas that are applicable even in 2000 and more.
One of the formula (Method 2) is:
- Take the year of birth = 00
- Add the last two digits to get a single number = 0
- Add 5 to this single number
- Add two digits to a single numer. this wil be your daughter's Gua no.
For example: Born in 2000
0 + 0 = 0; 5 + 0 = 5; 0 + 5 = 5.
Your daughter's Gua number is = 5.
2. Another easier method is to goto www.geomancy-online.com and generate a Free Gua Report.
The Free generated Gua Report available at the above link also confirms that your daughter's Gua no. is 5.
" Your Gua (Kua) Number
No. 5 Gua
Earth Element
West Group Gua
Your Gua number is 5. This can be considered your personal number or even lucky number.
You belong to one of the four West Group Gua.
Your Gua element is Earth Element. However, please note that the more accurate element is determined by the Pillars of Destiny day element. "
--- End of Gua Report generated Free at www.geomancy-online.com
2. Child born under horse or goat year.
3. Overall, it is difficult at the moment to say whether it is better for a second child to be born under the horse or goat.
4. This is because, it varies with not only the Year of birth. But, consideration include:
5. Year, Month, Day, Time of Birth and even two critical pillars House of Life and House of Conception.
This is what we call " Eight Characters or Ba zi " of every single individual will differ.
For example, say Horse year may be a compatible year (roughly) to your husband or yourself but it also depends on the day, month, hour of birth. And this can sway even in years considered to be better than the other.
6. Here, it is best left to fate when a child is born.
7. In traditional times, you may see the grandfather hurrying to a Geomancer to look at the Ba Zi of a child once he/she has been born. If the child is lacking say of an element, the correction is to e.g. use a name with that element included in it.
8. On mother `nature' side, it is always better to try to conceive earlier than later even if it is one or two years later especially since your first child is nearly 2 years or 2 years +.

Dear James,
1. In my opinion, the biggest influence in the home (`Earth' luck) relates more to the external environment, the site and the home.
2. Usually, other than the external environment and the site, the next important consideration is the (entire house).
3. Therefore; even if you had rented a room, it is but of secondary importance as the whole house has to be related to.
4. What I am trying or hoping to emphaise here is that your room is but just one sector of the whole house.
5. Usually, a full house is audited and checked for any imbalances (if any) within each sector. If there are any imbalance, then it should be `cured'. Say, after applying the cure for that sector; and the imbalance is neutralised, we usually do not look at that sector (other than say the yearly Flying Star influence).
This summarises the use of the Flying Star Feng Shui. (If it is applied)
6. Besides this, Shapes and Form Feng Shui for both interior and exterior of the home should be utilised.
7. In your case, you can try using the Eight House Theory. Here, you should try to check which sector your rented room is at. And see if this a good sector. And if possible, try to sleep at a good sector or nice to have if
one sleeps facing a good direction.
8. For your rented room, frankly no matter where you relocate your belongings, it will usally still be within one or two true compass directions. For example, the room could straddle between say North East and East Sector or simply at only one sector such as the East (as an example).
9. For a `small' room, therefore, there is nothing much or significant one can do.
10. We can still apply the Yin and Yang concept here. If the room is used for multiple roles. For example; in the day time, if the room is used for an activity e.g. study or work; then it should be `more Yang' and at night or evening, `more yin' for sleep.

Hello, I am new to feng shui

Dear Serene,
1. The best `neutral' colour in Feng Shui is white.
White serves two fold:
1. it represents the metal element and is one of the safest element to apply.
2. Under the Yin and Yang concept, white makes the house `brighter'.
For those who just got their condominiums, can choose to continue with the colour painted. Usually, condominiums use white interior or light cream. This still OK.
3. If one is really not too sure, so long as it is white; off-white or white + light shades of it mixed into white is exceptable.
For lily-white, this is usually still OK.
Warmest Regards,

Dear Anon,
1. Although sector Feng Shui is not practised here, I really don't see any harm in doing so i.e. SW = romance sector...
2. The 33.3 percent rule-set:
2.1 Usually, under Feng Shui; major impact is based on this rule-set. For example if we paint the walls in the bedroom `pink'; and if it > 33.3 percent of the entire surface of the walls in the room; then the predominate element is changed to Fire element (pink).
2.2 Usually, a small item e.g. rose quartz is a minor element - thus considered relatively little impact on a sector. It can be considered as decorative item.
3. Symbolism in Feng Shui
Here, symbolism is important in Feng Shui. For example, the use of numbers:
3.1 Six (6 coins) used as a cure in Feng Shui
3.2 Instead of applying the 33.3 percent ruleset. Where another example is that a missing corner is a sector of that corner has a missing floor area equal to or exceeding 33.3 percent.
3.3 We can use another alternative concept under Symbolism in Feng Shui. By using numbers.
3.4 Since 6 represents Big Metal element; therefore, 6 coins is thus symbolic representation of "Big metal".
Warmest Regards,

Dear Anon,
1. In Traditional Feng Shui, especially, if one uses Compass School Feng Shui, the `wealth corner' is subjective.
2. The rationale here is that there is not only one wealth sector but to achieve: maximum wealth or Luck potential; one has to balance all sectors and accord equal emphasis of attention on all sectors.
3. There is really no harm in placing a tin container that you cherish at any location of the home where you feel comfortable with.
4. In addition, this concept applies here " If one cannot see it; it no longer is effective".
5. Thus, coins kept in a tin would remain as a `tin box'. Usually, in Feng Shui, an item has to be visible for it `to work'.
6. For example, when say, applying a cure at a sector i.e. such as hanging 6 coins or a wind chime; these items has to be visible.
7. It is no point putting 6 coins in a drawer at a sector. It does not work that way in Feng Shui. Or if one is suppose to hang a wind chime; instead of hanging it up; we keep it say in a display cabinet.
8. The above are some `quirks' in Feng Shui. Like it's cousin: If one no longer sees, it no long becomes a threat'.
9. This is equally true for items say to be used as a cure. It has to be `displayed' such as hung at a wall.
In my opinion, therefore, go ahead with placing it at any location within the house.
Warmest Regards,

Dear Alan,
You can find out more about how to get the main door direction using this illustrated link:-
http://www.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-cecilcompass.htm
You need to first find the centrepoint of the house.
And from this centrepoint; check the direction of the house i.e. stand at the centrepoint of the house and from that location; take a compass reading. This is where the direction of the house is determined.
Warmest Regards,

Dear Cecil Lee
Thanks for your speedy reply.
I still confused about the
direction. When you
said about direction , do you
mean the actual house faces or
the main door??
And if the sector of the house
is not suitable for me ie the
bedroom but if
I sleep faces the good
direction, it is still
suitable for me??

Dear Anon,
1. Thanks for your sketch of your own apartment.
2. Based on the sketch (alone) it is difficult to say for sure whether the SW is a missing corner - at the moment.
Is it possible to have a sketch of the entire building.
3. This is because, usually, the missing corner or protusions are looked at in relation to this entire building.
For now, it can go either ways:-
3.1. a missing corner as what you have mentioned or
3.2. a protusion (less likely) but need to confirm based on the total building profile.
or It is simply an L shaped building.
The shape of the building matters as from it one can see if there are perhaps any imbalance in Qi flow around it. For example if the building is U shaped, Qi may become Sha Qi within the U area.
Appreciate, if you can let me have the information, before, I can look at it more carefully.
Warmest Regards,

Dear Susan,
Yes, bronze is considered as Metal element and can be used. So long the material is `metal', it is fine.

Dear All
1. The district in Katong, Singapore is a rustic area filled with many beautiful - old houses built between 1890s to 1960's.
2. Attachment shows a house built around 1930's with a distinctive Ba Gua (Fire type of living room area).
3. In another photo " old-and-new.jpg " you will find the backdrop (this old bungalow landed property) shown against high rise Singapore Public Housing " 5 Room " flats built by the Public Housing Development Board for nearly 90 percent of the population. These distintive Five Room flats are built around the 1970's.
4. There is another picture: "opposite-neighour.jpg " This low rise walk up flats are also pretty old built around 1960's.
Warmest Regards,

Dear Angelina,QuoteI am totally new to BA ZI. From your free computised Ba zi reading.
I am a yin fire.
Being born in late spring in Yr 1967 (Ram), is this consider born
in season?
Yes, is a simple basic analysis. Although there are actually more to do here in order for a more accurate analysis of the season of birth which may influence your final reading.
From my Ba zi chart I notice I have 5 fire both in the Hs &
EB and 1 wood, I hv 2 earth to exhaust the fire, with this chart
can I said the I am a yang fire. Having no water to suppress fire. Is
water, metal and earth my favourable element?
Even if there is 5 Fire in both Hs and EB, may not necessarily mean that you become a Yang Fire person. But it does not necessarily mean that you can be a Yang Fire person. However, in a basic analysis, you may consider yourself as Yang Fire element person.
This is because, there are other variables and interactions such as House of Conception and House of Life with the Year, Month, Day and Time combinations and interactions of all Hs and EBs; sometimes leading to triple combinations etc... some clashes may be beneifical while others may not.
The end result in such a situation may not necessarily mean that (in a more accurate analysis) result in being a Yang Fire due to these interactions as it will involve something like 6 Hs and 6 EBs - interaction with each other.
Therefore, even if you have more of a certain element, it does not (necessarily mean that you are a Yang Fire person.) You can still be a Yin Fire person depending on the above.
Under the basic Flying Star analysis, yes, at a glance you are a strong fire person. However, the number of elements here do not
reflect the seasons of birth which means that if happen your 5 fire are considered extremely weak fire, you may not necessary be a strong
fire.
Also, following what I mentioned earlier there will be clashes and combinations which will have an impact on your resulting elements, and also the House of Life and
House of Conception which can determine if you are a follow the leader etc type of chart.
Based on the basic analysis, you can be considered as a a Strong yin Fire, and thus Water, Metal and Earth are favourable for you.QuoteHi,

Dear Wendy,
1. Appreciate if you can confirm whether when you mention "the door direction is south @210 deg." Are u referring to the main entrance door or your room door.
2. If it is your room door, then, what you mentioned may not be exactly correct to assess the overall position.
3. Especially since it is difficult to divide a small room into North-South; East-West since they can be pretty close to each other. Where it takes is only a few steps to go from North to South or South to East etc...
4. Ideally, when you take a reading, it should be taken from the center-point of the house to the main entrance. And in relation to this which compass direction(s) is your room located in.
5. For a small room, the impact on your overall Feng Shui would thus depend on the `greater' picture i.e. the environment; the site and say the house that you are staying in. This has the most impact on you. Rather than just your room alone.
6. For a small room, what you can do here to generally check - Under the Eight House theory, what intangible force of yours is at the room. This is just a consideration or understanding.
7. Otherwise, as you mentioned, whichever direction you place the bed, it can still be seen facing the bedroom door.
Under this situation, we can only make full use of the Shapes and Form Feng Shui:
7.1. Where possible, try to see if the bed can be placed on the opposite side of the bedroom door.
7.2. Where possible, the headrest should preferably be placed against a solid back.
7.3. If there is a window and should the bed be placed next to it, try to leave a gap between the bed and the window.
7.4. Where possible, try to avoid having the head face or seen from the bedroom door. (If possible).
7.4. Close the bedroom door when you are in the bedroom.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
